Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds request a gag order following bombshell behind-the-scenes footage

Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, have filed a motion for a gag order against the legal team representing actor Justin Baldoni following the release of a behind-the-scenes video that has sparked controversy. The unedited footage, published by Daily Mail, shows Lively and Baldoni dancing, with Lively alleging that Baldoni’s actions were inappropriate and unprofessional.

In the video, Baldoni is seen leaning in to kiss Lively on the forehead, remarking on her smell, and engaging in other actions that Lively’s legal team describes as crossing professional boundaries. These actions, which were not part of the script, allegedly took place without Lively’s consent or the presence of an intimacy coordinator. Lively’s lawyers argue that Baldoni’s behavior was uncalled for and violated the professional environment expected on set.

Lively and Reynolds are seeking a protective order, accusing Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, of conducting a “harassing and retaliatory media campaign” and making irrelevant statements to the press, which they believe could prejudice the jury. They also claim Freedman violated court rules by making public statements about the case, which they argue are unrelated and damaging.

On the other side, Baldoni’s legal team has argued against the gag order, claiming it is unfair and that Baldoni has been defamed, particularly by a New York Times article that they say led to the loss of three jobs and substantial financial damages. Baldoni’s team asserts that he simply wants to present videos and texts to clear his name.

This legal battle, which includes multiple lawsuits and countersuits, has drawn significant media attention and highlighted claims of harassment and a hostile work environment, making it a high-profile issue in the entertainment world.
